Take away $2-3k or so on the "managers special" price for the car in the OP and it's more in line with what it really should go for in the first place.
We all know adding a couple TRD parts does nothing to the value of the car, it just makes it easier to sell. Dealer fees also dry up and wither away when you start to walk out the door during negotiations or at least they have when I've purchased.

I agree with most of this.
I'm getting a bit OT here but only a handful of states have capped dealer doc fees. TN is not one of them. There is no law in TN that prohibits a dealer from removing the dealer fee from the price he gives a customer. All the dealers here insist that if they charge one person a dealer fee, they must charge all people, or they would be open to a class action lawsuit. That, of course is a bunch of crap.
When I purchased my FR-S as a certified pre-owned vehicle the Toyota dealer added a $600. doc fee. I told him to take $600. off the negotiated price of the car and then add the $600. back in as a dealer doc fee. He balked at first but a few weeks later he called me and agreed to do it.
Your focus should be on total cost.
Getting back on track, not sure if this is possible or makes sense, but I would like to see forum members post good/great deals that they have found online or seen at local dealerships on used/new FR-S/86s and BRZs in a dedicated section or thread. Of course this would be up to the admins of this site, and there maybe some conflict with the classified Cars for Sale/Trade section.
